We released this song as the second single of the album on February 10, but you could have heard this song on the first day of 2019 already. That day, we released a track under the moniker All Shall Be Hell, titled There’s Still Time to Change the Road We’re On. That song is For Now, We Travel but just played in reverse. The title hints at the concept of backmasking, as it’s a reference to the lyrics you supposedly hear when you play Led Zeppelin’s Stairway to Heaven backwards. Of course, the title also perfectly ties in with the theme of ZWARTGROEN.

For each song of the album, we made individual artwork. All of them centered around the same theme (already mentioned above) and adhering to the same visual principles. Here’s the artwork for ‘Travel’:

As with the cover art of ZWARTGROEN itself, all the images used are from the public domain Rijksmuseum archive. Here are all the original art pieces that we used:
